How To Form An LLC

An LLC, or Limited Liability Company, is a powerful and flexible business structure. It's the most popular choice for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and side hustlers because it protects your personal assets, provides tax flexibility, and simplifies the formation process.

  1. 1. Name Your LLC

    Check to make sure there are no other businesses with that name in your state and that it aligns with the state's laws for LLC names.

  2. 2. Appoint A Registered Agent

    You're required to have a registered agent available to receive important state correspondence and legal notices in person.

  3. 3. File Certificate Of Formation

    This makes your LLC official! Once your paperwork is approved, and fees are collected, you are officially the owner of a limited liability company.

  4. 4. Create An Operating Agreement

    An operating agreement may be the most important document for your LLC. It establishes the rules for operating your company and gives it further legitimacy.

  5. 5. Apply For An EIN

    An Employee Identification Number (EIN) registers your business with the IRS and helps you open a business bank account, get financing, and hire employees.

  6. 6. Our Team Keeps You
    Informed And Educated

    Rest easy knowing we keep you informed of changes to federal and state requirements, such as the Corporate Transparency Act and the beneficial ownership information filing.

Launch your LLC in minutes. We'll take care of the paperwork so you can focus on your business.
